The Shanghai Charity Union (in pinyin, Cilian) was established in 1937, and Zhao Puchu served as a member of its executive committee. In December 1939, the Union founded the Cilian Middle School for warphans. This impassioned poem, which Zhao wrote at the age of eighty-three, was a dedication to the 50^th anniversary of the Cilian Middle School. His calligraphy exhibited a good strength of brushwork.
